Horn can hope to secure smaller endorsement deals in Australia, but the humble Queenslander will need to get busy fighting big names.

"He'll pick up money outside of the ring, he will get sponsorship, but it won't be anything like the money that is attracted for the pay-per-views in America," Mr Markson said.

Horn has already laid down the challenge to boxing brash superstar Floyd "Money" Mayweather- the world's highest paid athlete in 2013, 2014 and 2015, earning hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

It’s unlikely Horn will ever be able to draw Mayweather into the ring. The American is 40 years old, and is due to fight UFC drawcard Conor McGregor in a bout that will score him more than US$200 million for an evening’s work.

Horn isn’t quite in his league.

The Australian should instead aim to secure another big US fight. A bout shown on pay-per-view television in America will put Horn on track to become Australia's best paid sportsperson.

“He's got to go fight in America and if he does that, he fights big names and he wins, the world is his oyster,” Mr Markson said.

The key to his financial success will be success with the gloves. Winning pays, losing puts you out of the spotlight.

Horn's future is literally in his own hands and how well he uses them.
